Chapter 436: The money in my hands can never be taken back
After returning home, Zhuang Hualin told Zhu Xiuyu about his brother's heroic deeds.
"I didn't expect that my brother would be so tough for once." Zhuang Hualin sighed.
Zhu Xiuyu smiled and said, "I just don't know how long I can hold on."
Zhuang Hualin looked for the other three people. They were studying the fireworks that Hongbin had bought in the yard, preparing to set them off in the evening.
Seeing that they were all gone, Zhuang Hualin whispered to Zhu Xiuyu:
"Hey, sister-in-law, if my brother can't bear it and my mother finds out and comes to ask for money, will you really give it to her?"
Zhu Xiuyu sneered:
"How is that possible! I was just trying to provoke your brother. No one can take the money from me. I have to keep it for Tunan and Xiaoting! I know they don't need it. Just like Aling said, even a fly leg is meat, right?"
Zhuang Hualin nodded with satisfaction:
"That's right! You can't even take out five dollars, let alone fifteen hundred. You absolutely can't give them that!
I know Zhuang Ganmei very well. When he opened a shop, he couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or with his hands, and he couldn't endure any hardship, so he had to hire a few people to help him with the work.
If someone helps with the heavy work, he will feel bored and restless sitting in the house collecting money. He will even squander all the money if you open a gold shop for him.
In the past, to be honest, he was a little afraid of Lin Fang. He was more obedient when Lin Fang could control him. Now that no one can control him, he will definitely not be well. I am putting my words here.
Zhu Xiuyu smiled and nodded.
She looked at the people in the room. This was what a real family should look like.
She was a little uncomfortable when it was just her and Hongbin in the room.
She likes Pengfei, Zhuang Hualin and Xiangdong from the bottom of her heart and treats them as her family.
In recent years, she feels that things are going better and better. Her son is filial, her nephew is sensible, she has support in her career, and she has a growing family.
Her plans were no longer used to make a living, but for business, which made her live a much more comfortable life.
Although the troublesome old dealer is still there, everything will be fine soon.
She knew very well that as long as Zhuang Ganmei was released from prison, it would accelerate the destruction of the Zhuang family.
Thinking of this, I’m a little bit looking forward to it.
Zhuang Hualin looked at Hong Bin outside the house and sighed again:
"If only Pengfei could go to university in Shanghai like Hongbin, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Of course it can be done! If Aling says he can do it, then he can definitely do it." Zhu Xiu Yu said firmly.
"Sister Ling is sometimes just an encouragement. In her words, any child can pass the exam. I'm still a little worried..."
"Of course you can." Zhu Xiuyu patted her arm.
The aroma of chicken soup wafted into the room. The two of them looked at the time and went to make other dishes.
After the dishes were laid out, everyone happily ate the New Year’s Eve dinner, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and stayed up all night to welcome the New Year.
In the alley, the Lin family and the Li family lived together, and because the Li family had a baby, they were even happier.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Dongzhe ran out.
Song Ying didn't care, thinking he was outside watching other people set off fireworks.
This year, because there is a baby in the yard, Dongzhe did not buy fireworks for fear of scaring him. Usually, he likes to play with these.
Others watched the Spring Festival Gala in the house.
Song Ying peeled an orange, tasted it, and then put the orange back into its peel:
"I'll save this sourness for Lin Dongzhe later, hahahaha!"
Lin Wufeng laughed and said, "You've learned bad things from Sister Ling!"
"It's not just Sister Ling, it's her and Lin Dongzhe! They're really good at pretending. Li Ziya was sour, but they remained calm and kept saying, 'It's so sweet! Eat it quickly!' Now I finally have the chance to get revenge on Lin Dongzhe."
Song Ying said bitterly.
"Then why don't you take revenge on Sister Ling?" Lin Wufeng joked.
"Look at me." Song Ying pointed at her face.
"Yeah, I know. You got a new perm. From the back, your hair looks the same as Sister Ling's. You must have had the same perm done!" Lin Wufeng took a closer look and answered seriously.
"No, look at me, do I look like I can deceive Sister Ling?" Song Ying waved her hand.
"Hahahahahahaha..." This time, Lin Wufeng understood what she meant.
Dongzhe had been gone for a long time, so Lin Wufeng stood up, stretched, and said to Song Ying:
"I'm going out for a walk to find that kid. Where did he go during the New Year?"
He walked along the alley to the entrance and looked around. There were many children setting off fireworks, big and small, piled up on both sides, but Dongzhe was not there.
Lin Wufeng wanted to walk further away to look for it, but when he saw that he was wearing the cotton shoes he wore indoors, he was afraid that they would get dirty, so he thought of going home to change shoes before looking again. Unexpectedly, when he walked back, he heard a noise in Li's convenience store.
It was Dong-chul who was calling.
I couldn't hear clearly what Dongzhe was saying, he seemed to be talking about something delicious.
Lin Wufeng thought about it and realized that he had picked up something delicious today. It was the radish cake that Lin Wufeng brought back from a business trip to Guangzhou.
Song Ying followed the method learned by Lin Wufeng and fried it over low heat until the skin was golden brown but the inside was still glutinous. It was indeed very delicious.
Lin Wufeng didn't call Dongzhe and went home first.
Song Ying asked: "No one was found!"
"I'm on the phone!" Lin Wufeng told her.
"He's probably calling Tunan and Xiaoting. Brother Tunan is the one I love the most. He misses him so much when he doesn't see him for a day. He calls every day, as if the calls are free."
Song Ying was eating melon seeds and turning down the volume of the TV because Yang Qiuyan took Xiaohu to bed.
"It's okay. Tunan will be working in Beijing, so we won't have many opportunities to meet. They went to Changzhou for the New Year this year, so I think it's normal. Let's get married! It won't cost much."
Lin Wufeng felt that the tone of the conversation did not sound like it was directed at Tuanan. He guessed that it was most likely directed at Xiaoting.
Dongzhe has been a great man in front of others since he was a child, but he is just a cricket in front of Xiaoting.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongzhe came back.
Song Ying immediately handed over the orange on the table:
"You've arrived just in time. This orange is very sweet. Come and try it."
"Oh, thanks, Mom."
Dongzhe took it, put it down just as he put it to his mouth, and looked at Song Ying speechlessly:
"Mom, it's Chinese New Year, I'm one year older and you're one year younger, right? And you're still playing these childish tricks."
“How do you know there’s a problem?”
"You look like you just peeled it, but the skin is hard. It's obviously been there for quite a while! And you're still trying to trick me!"
Song Ying touched it and found it was indeed true. She said in frustration:
"Forget about this. Next time, ha, I'll try again next time."
Lin Wufeng, Li Yiming and Aunt Li covered their mouths and laughed.
"Auntie, Auntie Huang said that our Dongzhe is the smartest among the children. You didn't believe it. Now you know!" Li Yiming said with a smile.
Song Ying changed the subject:
"Did you call your aunt just now?"
Dongzhe was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yeah! Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just call them for fun."
Song Ying didn't say anything else, and everyone continued to stay up all night, having a great time.
Compared with their peace and joy, the Wu family in the alley was deserted.
There were only Wu Jianguo and Zhang Amei at home. Zhang Min, who went to Guangdong to work, did not come back for the New Year.
